About Us

来碗面 (Lái Wǎn Miàn) means “Come have a bowl of noodles.”

It’s the kind of invitation you’d hear at home — simple, comforting, and welcoming. Just like us.

From the team behind Sawasdee Thai Restaurant, a Budapest favourite since 2017, comes Noodle Bowl — a celebration of our Chinese roots and the comfort food we grew up with.

What began with a passion for handmade noodles, dumplings, and bao has evolved into a menu that showcases an even wider selection of authentic Chinese dishes. Today, our menu features hearty rice bowls and classic Chinese specialties alongside our signature handmade noodles, freshly folded jiaozi (Chinese dumplings), and fluffy bao buns.

Every dish is prepared with the same commitment to authenticity, quality ingredients, and freshly made food that has guided us since opening.

Two menus, one roof. Thai and Chinese comfort food, together at last.

Handmade from Scratch
手工现做

No machines, no shortcuts — just flour, water, and skill.

From hand-kneaded dough to freshly folded dumplings and pulled noodles, everything we serve is made in-house, every single day.
